        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[As required by Section 610 of the Regulatory Flexibility Act and Executive Order 12866, OSHA has reviewed the Agency's standard for the protection of employees from expossure to ethylene oxide, 29 CFR 1910.146, to determine whether the rule should be continued without change or should be amended or rescinded, consistent with the objectives of the rule and of the Occupational Safety and Health Act, to minimize any significant impact on a substantial number of small entities. After a thorough review of the Agency's experience in enforcing this standard, the available literature, and comments received in connection with this review, OSHA has determined that there is a continued need for the rule, that the rule does not appear to overlap, duplicate, or conflict with other Federal rules or with other State and local rules, and that no technological, economic, or other factors have arisen since the rule was published that would necessitate amendment or recission of the rule at this time. OSHA has also concluded that no change that is consistent with the objectives of the OSHA Act can be made to the rule that will further minimize any significant impact on a substantial number of small entities.]]></ABSTRACT>
